Wheel Alignments
for College Station, Bryan, TX & the Surrounding Areas
When your wheels are in alignment, you’ll generally notice no problems with the steering wheel or front-end of the vehicle. You drive smooth and straight. However, when your wheels are out of alignment, it means the tires aren’t pointing in the right direction – which can negatively affect your car in multiple ways.
If you suspect your vehicle is in need of a wheel alignment, rely on Sevcik’s Service Center! Our technicians have the knowledge and tools necessary to detect an alignment issue and provide the repairs necessary to fix it! We proudly serve the College Station and Bryan, TX areas.
Indications That Your Vehicle Needs a Wheel Alignment
Vibrations
Your vehicle should not be shaking or vibrating at any point. If you notice this happening when you are driving or parked, it could indicate the need for service.
Pulling
While you’re driving, do you notice your vehicle trying to pull to the left or right automatically? You should never have to yank your wheel or hold it to the side in order to keep your vehicle driving straight. Whether hard or soft pulling, this is a sure sign of wheel alignment issues.
Uneven Tire Wear
As part of routine auto maintenance, you should also be inspecting the wear of your tires. If one of your tires is wearing differently from the others, seek the help of a professional.
Causes of Bad Wheel Alignment
Sudden Impact
Hitting a pothole, brushing up against the curb, and bumping into solid walls or concrete parking stalls can cause a disturbance in your wheel alignment. The impact of the bump or accident, no matter how small, can be enough to shift your wheel alignment.
Natural Wear & Tear
Like other elements of your vehicle, your suspension components commonly see natural wear and tear. Your shocks and struts can become worn or loose over time, negatively affecting your wheel alignment.
Modifications
Have you decided to lift the suspension of your vehicle? This could cause your wheels to become misaligned as most vehicle suspensions are built with a specified height in mind.
What Happens During a Wheel Alignment Service?
During a wheel alignment service, the auto mechanic rotates and adjusts the wheels to properly fit the vehicle, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Wheels also have various tilt adjustments to fit the driver’s preference.Â
